The Green Carnation. Robert Hichens. London: The Unicorn Press, 1949. Original dustjacket designed by John Parsons.“He slipped a green carnation into his evening coat, fixed it in its place with a pin, and looked at himself in the glass, the long glass that stood near the window of his London bedroom…There he stood in his favourite and most characteristic attitude, with his left knee slightly bent, and his arms hanging at his sides, gazing, as a woman gazes at herself before she starts for a party.” -- source link
